The quote that I look to and put the most weight in is Minnifield's quote "I have been running full speed for almost three months now, cutting and everything. There's nothing I can't do."

That basically says that from a health standpoint, he's not limited in what he can do. Of course, even healthy players get cut every year. So, whether he makes it is no guarantee, but for people to take this and make it a negative is beyond pessimistic.

The Hogster wrote:Tandler's blog post is more opinion than journalism. The Al Bashir article delivers quotes from the source. Whether he makes a full recovery is still up in the air, but Rich Tandler's opinion is no more credible than anyone else's. So, the prudent thing to do is to look at the source. Minnifield and the coaching staff. Both obviously are hopeful that he can recover or else they wouldn't have opted to retain his rights.

agreed on the opinion vs. journalism dichotomy, but the man read the same article I did, and I just don't see how the hell he got where he did.

It's a bit like those responding to RGIII's tuesday tweet by saying that he was taking a shot at his coach (cough- Kornheiser/Wilbon/Adam Schefter-cough) and blaming them for his injury. Again, my response is just "did we read the same thing?"

I know he got a pretty good zip on the ball. He has a quick release. . . once I seen a coupla' throws, I was just like 'Yeah, he's that dude.'"

Liked the way Minnifield played D. Henderson on one route. Good jam, played proper shoulder, stepped in front for an INT.

Liked the coverage by Minnifield on one route by Garcon. Played him well; on inside shoulder, used eyes well. smart.

Any word on the progress of Chase Minnifield and Brandon Meriweather? I think the secondary is more important this year than the pass rush.Dan Graziano (12:04 PM)

Minnifield looks great, but the question is whether they can trust his knee to hold up, and the answer is likely no. So if they keep him, they may need to keep an extra CB for insurance. Meriweather is a guy they're being careful with, but indications are that he'll be ready when the season starts.

Wow that's awesome! Really hope he keeps it up; been anticipating his contribution for a while

Minnifield continues to impress with his physicality and motor, and appears to have drawn the good-natured attention of his veteran receiver teammates. After a catch in traffic during 1-on-1 drills yesterday, Joshua Morgan stared him down. An ongoing rivalry with third-year receiver Leonard Hankerson continued today, as he fought Minnifield off of a jam at the line and both players ended up missing the ball. If he can remain healthy, No. 25 will be an intriguing player to watch when preseason action begins next week.
